Mt. Abraham & Mt. Ellen 11.11.2017
After not hiking in Vermont for nearly a year, I came back to hike Mt. Abraham and Mt. Ellen. The last time I tried to combine these two peaks I turned around before actually reaching Mt. Ellen, so today was a bit of a re-do with the inclusion of hiking from the Battell Trail Head this time. To go along with that, I also knew where the plane crash on Mt. Abraham was this time so I could go visit that on the way back if I had time.
It was a bit cold today, and a recent wind/snow storm had created a number of blow downs along the route. In the end though today was an enjoyable hike over a completely snow covered route. Today's hike was 12.6 miles with 4,548 ft of overall elevation gain. The sky was mostly clear and the high temperature at higher elevations was probably only about 20 degrees
